Funny how Punk and Bryan aren't even in the top 20 for biggest viewership losers last year...hmm.. could have swore certain people on this site swore up and down that they were "killing" the product and turning viewers away.

Funny how you don't mention that those part timers and John Cena are bigger ratings draws.

Interesting how looking at all those viewership gains... Undertaker's number stands out vastly over anyone else, 550k+... That's nut, half a million people tuned in to see the Undertaker...

There's one major issue with this list.

Who was before the viewership rise/drop, how many viewers was there to begin with; who was the person feuding with, was it a big return?

Also was this average over the year or one single rise/drop in viewership?

I'm not saying the list is bad or inaccurate but there is a lot of variables to this, like say before Undertaker it was Kelly Kelly, then he only really gained 350k viewers, while the other 220k was just those Kelly lost tuning back in; or like ummm, Christian lost those viewers 'cause Taker was off the tv, ya know?

Everything has variables, they say "numbers never lie", but you sure can distort them to fit your point.

Yeah, I mean this is just a study done by one person. He doesn't seem to be very biased though and this is all pretty believable but there's a lot of variables going into something like this
